Colts' 2018 training camp preview: WR Dres Anderson

As the Indianapolis Colts prepare for training camp at the end of July, there will be plenty of eyes on the wide receiver group and Dres Anderson will be doing his best to make the roster.

Anderson, who entered the league in 2015 as an undrafted free agent, signed with the Colts to their practice squad on Nov. 13, 2017, and then signed a reserve/futures contract in January when the season ended.

Anderson has bounced around the league since he signed with the San Francisco 49ers following the 2015 NFL Draft. He’s yet to play in a regular season game but has been on the practice squads for the Chicago Bears, Houston Texans, Washington Redskins since entering the league.

Even though the roles in the wide receiver room aren’t clear behind T.Y. Hilton, Anderson has a tough hill to climb with the competition he faces.

Guys like Ryan Grant, Deon Cain and Chester Rogers have all had solid spring showings and should be in line for roster spots. The same likely goes for Reece Fountain, which means there will be a handful of players competing for that final roster spot.

Bottom line: It remains to be seen if Anderson will have a strong enough training camp and preseason to make the roster but it wouldn’t be a shock at all if he becomes a practice squad body if he’s able to have a decent showing before the season.
